    1868 (April 8): Stampless cover and complete contents on Bengal Cavalry notepaper, datelined "Camp Antalo", with interesting contents "I have just arrived here to take command of the Cavalry, but today I have been ordered to escort treasure by double marches to Magdala. Napier is within 30 miles of Theodore's Camp.... stamps are not procureable here, so you will have to pay for this, but not extra as it is an Abyssinia letter". The envelope is endorsed "Abyssinian Letter, via Marseilles" and countersigned at lower left. Reverse shows "F.F." and  "FIELD FORCE POST OFFICE / ABYSSINIA" datestamps in black (April 10 and April 15), London cds in red (May 3) and Bristol arrival cds, where charged 10 d. due (Officer's rate via Marseilles). A remarkable and rare cover, stampless covers from this Campaign numbering less than 10 recorded examples.
